Blanche Quote #135

Quote from Blanche in Second Motherhood

Blanche: Well, Richard's nothing like that and I don't think he ever could be. He is simply the sweetest, kindest, most handsome man I've ever met. Only I do have a small problem with his money.
Dorothy: Oh, why? You don't think you'll live long enough to spend it all?
Blanche: No. I mean, I just don't want him to think that's the only reason I'm attracted to him. That's why, whenever we're out together, I always pretend to be totally unimpressed by his wealth.
Rose: Isn't that kind of difficult?
Blanche: Oh, no, not at all. I don't give a hoot how much he has. Fact is, I think I'm falling in love.
Dorothy: Oh, come on now, Blanche. Are you telling me that you'd feel the same way about him if he didn't have a dime to his name?
Blanche: Absolutely. I'd just have to see other men behind his back. [laughs] Oh, come on.

Quote from Dorothy

Blanche: Well, I just hate myself for feeling this way, but I don't want to be a mother again. I mean, it was a wonderful experience at the time, but I always thought this part of my life was supposed to be for me.
Dorothy: Honey, I understand exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. You know, at our age we should be grandmothers, not mothers. Once a week, the grandchildren come over for a visit. You cook them dinner, they spill it on the furniture. They hide under your bed. You hurt yourself looking for them. They ask you what those spots on your hands are. They tell you they love you and then just before total exhaustion sets in, they go home and become their mother's problems.

Quote from Dorothy
